Everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Tianzun's reaction. They thought he would wave his hands and say he couldn't do it.

The Silver Demon King winked at Yin Hou - Xiaoyou seemed to have some ideas and was starting to lose his mind.

Yin Hou couldn't laugh or cry - when had Xiaoyou ever had an idea? Xiaoyou's brain is clearer than the water in Jinghu Lake, where can he go?

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both looked at Fang Jingxiao, and Lin Yehuo also nodded - if it doesn't work this time, try again next time.

Fang Jingxiao naturally had no objection and said he was not in a hurry, and Tianzun studied it slowly.

Everyone was preparing to return to the shore. Tianzun found a chair and sat down to study the copper ball.

Others came to him curiously to watch.

I couldn't see it clearly in the water just now, but now I brought it ashore, everyone felt that the old man still had a vision, this ball was not simple.

The copper ball looked very beautiful after being cleaned. It was reddish brown, about the same size as the plum blossoms played by children, and was perfectly round. There were scaly patterns on the surface of the ball, and there were also several incomprehensible patterns mixed in. One was particularly thick.

Simple beauty.

When Master Wu saw the dragon scale pattern on the surface, he immediately thought of the large half of the "eggshell" used by Tianzun to place stones in Baihua Valley.

The same person who thought of the eggshell was the Silver Demon King. When he picked up Tianzun on the top of Tianshan Mountain, his little boy was placed in the white jade egg. There were also dragon scale patterns on the surface of the eggshell.

The word "Zun" in it is subtly close to the characters on the copper ball.

In addition, Fifth Master thinks that the production process of this copper ball is quite "ancient", and the material of this copper has never been seen before. It should be an antique - could it be something from the Tianyu tribe?

Yin Hou asked the Demon King in a low voice, "Could it be an egg?"

The Demon King touched his chin and shook his head, "Eggs are all oval, where are the perfectly round eggs?"

Yin Hou couldn't help but complain, "All turtle eggs are round."

The demon king looked at Yin Hou - could this egg hatch into a bronze turtle?

Yin Hou inexplicably thought of A Di in the Bishui Pool.

As the boat walked towards the shore, Bai Yutang showed Zhaolin Night Fire and a group of others gathered around Tianzun to watch.

Tianzun held the ball in his hands and rubbed it without knowing what he was studying.

At this time, Zhao Pu suddenly asked Fang Jingxiao, who was observing Tianzun attentively, "What are those two ships?"

Fang Jingxiao looked up, and the others finally turned their attention away from Tianzun and looked towards the lake.

I saw two large ships sailing towards the center of the lake in the distance. There were many people on board, as if they were going to do some kind of project, and they were also transporting a lot of wood.

There is a buoy above the Lingdie Palace ruins, and the ship is parked not far from the location surrounded by the buoy.

There were many strong men on the boat pulling ropes and pulling large floating boards into the lake.

"Oh..." Fang Jingxiao nodded, "Probably he is preparing the venue for the Plum Blossom Competition."

Zhao Zhen got excited, "Is the venue really located on the lake?"

Fang Jingxiao nodded, "You've said hello to me before, and there's no reason to stop you."

"Speaking of which..." Gongsun was a little curious, "I've always wanted to ask, if the Plum Blossom Tournament is not an official game, who is in charge? Judging from the size of the referee, it's not like an ordinary folk game."

"To be precise, it is organized by the local chamber of commerce." Lu Yuelan said, "Holding this kind of competition requires teams, referees and venues. In addition to plum blossom matches, these referees will also officiate in Cuju and other competitions. As long as the chamber of commerce pays

, invite referees, build the venue, and the team will come to play football. It is very simple. This is a competition organized by the Chamber of Commerce in Shaoxing Prefecture. Chambers of commerce from all over the country want to hold the Plum Blossom Tournament because it is very profitable. It is once a year.

It’s an activity that brings both fame and fortune.”

"Is the Chamber of Commerce in Shaoxing Prefecture composed of local businessmen?" Zhao Pu asked Fang Jingxiao, "Does your family also contribute money?"

Fang Jingxiao shook her head, "I work as an errand in the government office, so I don't participate in the local chamber of commerce."

Everyone nodded - that's right, the government still wants to avoid suspicion.

"Is Yang Dalong, the man who asked Yellow Turtle Dove to steal the treasure, also from the local chamber of commerce?" Bai Yutang asked.

"As far as I know, Yang Dalong is the president or vice president of the local chamber of commerce. In short, he has a role to play every time." Fang Jingxiao nodded.

Zhan Zhao and the others are all looking at Zhao Zhen - then Yang Dalong still thinks that you are Lord Cao's special envoy. Otherwise, you should try to trick him again to see if there are any other clues.

Zhao Zhen thinks this is the way to go.

Zhao Pu reminded Zhao Zhen, "The first round of the preliminaries will be played tomorrow, are you still busy?"

The emperor clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Who is your opponent in the first round?"

"The list will be posted before noon today. Let's take a look after dinner later." Fang Jingxiao suggested.

While he was talking, the ship had already docked.

Everyone was preparing to go ashore. Bai Yutang looked back and saw that Tianzun was still sitting there tinkering with the copper ball. Yin Hou and Demon King sat opposite him, both holding their chins and watching.

he.

Zhan Zhao went over and wanted to ask Tianzun and the others to find a teahouse on the shore and study slowly while drinking tea.

But just when Zhan Zhao walked to Tianzun, he heard a "click".

Everyone on the boat paused and looked back together.

Silver Demon King and Yin Hou also opened their eyes wide.

I saw Tianzun's hands holding the ball split open... The copper ball was actually opened!
Chapter completed!
